Speciality Restaurants Limited announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full financial year ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a revenue growth of 13.65% year-on-year for the quarter, with profit after tax (PAT) increasing by a significant 44.20%.
This improvement in profitability was attributed to a same-store sales growth (SSG) of 2.25% in the quarter and an expansion of gross margins from 69.1% to 70.4%, despite inflationary trends. For the full financial year, the company achieved a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 12.39% on revenues and 11.16% on PAT over the last five years. The CFO highlighted that the company has maintained consistent profits for the past 19 quarters.
During the conference call, the management discussed various strategic initiatives. They addressed competition from brands like Panda Express, stating that their fine casual and casual dining formats (Mainland China, Asia Kitchen) are distinct from the fast QSR model. The company is also expanding its premium Asian dining segment with the launch of 'Gong'. A digital QSR brand, 'Haka', focused on delivery, is also being scaled.
To boost SSG, the company is undertaking renovations and refurbishments of its older outlets, a process that has already begun and is expected to drive future growth. For FY27, a capex of ₹40 crore is planned for renovations and new store openings. The company is focusing on key brands like Mainland China, Asia Kitchen, Haka, Gong, Siciliana, Walters, and Sweet Bengal, while other profitable units will not see further expansion.
Regarding expansion, Speciality Restaurants plans to launch 8 new restaurants, 15 new 'Walters' outlets, and 10 new 'Sweet Bengal' outlets within the current year, bringing the total touchpoints to approximately 150 by the end of FY27. The total capex for this expansion is estimated at ₹37 crore (₹32 crore for restaurants and ₹5 crore for QSR and confectionery). The company aims for a revenue growth of 15% or more in FY27, potentially reaching ₹600 crore.
In response to rising fuel costs, the company has invested approximately ₹1.12 crore in importing wok-based induction sets, with 78% of its restaurant chain already transitioned away from LPG/PNG, aiming for 100% in 20 days. This transition is expected to maintain or reduce energy costs. The company reported a net cash balance of ₹103 crore as of March 31, 2026, with total cash of ₹162.48 crore.
